The day will begin with registration and breakfast at 7:30 a.m., followed by a business meeting, keynote speaker Jessica Bartholomew, Women of the Year award and Holy Mass. Lunch will be served at noon.
The afternoon speakers — the Handmaids of the Heart of Jesus — will speak on “The Genius of Women,” the role of women in the home and in society.
